Chapter 406: Was Wei Wei Gone?Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Walking to an empty corner.

Helian Wei Wei was stopped by Yun Biluo.

Helian Wei Wei was not in the mood to entertain her right now. She looked at her with icy cold eyes and uttered coldly, “Get lost.”

There was a change in Yun Biluo’s expression. She took a deep breath before saying anything, “I don’t care how you treat me, but I never expected that you would let His Highness risk his life for Master Hei.” She paused momentarily and continued, “It’s you who told His Highness to interfere, isn’t it? Otherwise, Master Hei would not be released so soon.”

There was a slight pause. Helian Wei Wei clenched her fist that was hidden in the long sleeve, but her eyes were clear and rational.

Yun Biluo softened her voice, “His Highness has told me everything about the two of you, including the agreement. There’s nothing wrong to ask for the help of His Highness, but don’t you think that you’ve crossed the line this time?”

“Are you done?” Helian Wei Wei looked back at her and said with a bloodthirsty smile. “Get lost if you’re done.”

Yun Biluo raised her eyes, her face was full of sorrows. “We both know what Shadow meant just now. Emperor Murong wants to kill His Highness and take over his place. His Highness and I will soon be together. I don’t want him to put himself in danger simply because of a previous agreement. I hope you can leave if that’s possible. This is the only way for His Highness to let go of the burden…”

She walked into the crowd upon saying that, without turning back or looking at Helian Wei Wei’s reaction.

As she already knew, people like Helian Wei Wei would surely not be able to cope with current stress, hence she would choose to leave…

Bang!

It was another academy student who wanted to leave but was ‘politely’ sent back by the soldiers.

They had no idea what happened to their martial Qi.

They finally came back to their senses when they saw someone from the magistrate came back from the well. All of them were spiked with Energy Varying Powder. Although the amount was insignificant and not fatal, it reminded them that they were unable to use their martial Qi.

The magistrate had made a strategic deployment in an all-round way outside. They could hear the noise of hooves at the foot of the hill even when they were sitting in the room. It showed how near they were already!

The shadow guards remained expressionless even though they were injured. They scattered at all the corners around the inn, pinning down the enemy from the vantage point of the inn.

Even though they were injured, anyone who underestimated them would be greeted with more kicks than halfpence.

This was the power of the 18 shadow guards.

However, they did not receive any news from the military barracks.

All the letters that they sent out were unanswered.

There were some of their men in the Capital, but they were quite far away. It was unlikely for them to reach in time even if they had received the news now.

The magistrate had yet to start attacking, as he knew that anybody else might leave but the Third Prince would never leave.

That was the case even if he had extraordinary martial Qi.

How is the Prince going to be the Emperor of the country in the future if he were to abandon his subjects and flee before a war?

Needless to say, people would surely spit on him if he fled. His face would be covered in a layer of spittle.

They had plotted everything before besieging the mountain. Everything they did was for the sole purpose of driving the Third Prince into the corner!

He would have no way out even if he managed to survive!

Looking at the situation, Yun Biluo was worried and grasped the handkerchief in her hand tightly. The situation was far worse than she had ever thought. The enemy troops were arriving and they could not get any reinforcement, which meant there was only one way out… Death!

She never expected to get into such a mess when she asked her Master to take Heize captive.

It won’t do.

She had to advise the prince to leave the academy and descend the mountain!

Listening to the running sounds outside, all the academy students looked at Baili Jia Jue like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.

Although all of them had martial Qi, they never participated in a war.

Among these people, there were lots of major-domo ladies who lived a splendid life.

They usually needed someone else’s assistance to walk. They had never encountered such a fright.

They were exhausted after a hard day, almost bursting into tears. “Your Highness, let’s get out of here quickly. Things are not going to work out if we stay the same. It will be more difficult for us to leave once they break through the academy door.”

“That’s right, Your Highness! Let’s go out now! How daring can the magistrate be!”

Seeing that everyone had voiced out, Yun Biluo lowered her voice and said, “Your Highness, I understand that you are worried about those academy students that you can’t take with you. But we have come to such a state now, all we can do is to get out from here first. Worst comes to the worst, we can just compensate them later. You’re the Prince of the Grand Huang Dynasty. If any mishap were to happen to you, what would all the people who have helped you over the years end up with? How many spies have you planted all these years? Aren’t you waiting for the day to sit on the throne? The rise and fall of the War Dragon Empire will fall on your shoulders. Are you really willing to die at this Green Dragon Mountain?”

“Sister Yun is right, we will just have to take the people from the Superior Compound and Fine Compound away, leaving people from the rest of the compounds. They are supposed to try their very best to serve His Highness, even at the expense of their lives. Most of them are going into battle and fight in the future. The Prince needs to use them now, it’s not a big deal even if they have to make some sacrifices.”

Moreover, they can surely escape from here. This matter is not as complicated as what Helian Wei Wei thought.

It’s merely an unrealistic thought of a little official.

There are so many officials in the area of the Green Dragon Mountain. So what if the military barracks refuse to send their troops, someone will naturally come and protect His Highness when they reach the Capital.

Even if they are defiant, they would not dare to hurt the Third Prince.

Those major-domo ladies always fancy themselves wiser than any other.

Even the military had refused to send troops, how are they going to reach the Capital in one piece?

Looking at these morons, Baili Jia Jue said with a spurious smile on his face, “Shadow, since these people want to go out so badly, send them away.”

“Yes,” Shadow lowered his eyes, glancing toward those spoiled major-domo ladies. He could not help shaking his head in his mind. These people are hopeless. Don’t they know that the first batch of people who escape from the city during siege warfare would die in far more horrible ways!

His Highness’ measures were so firm and resolute as usual.

“I won’t leave,” Yun Biluo raised her teary, beautiful eyes, looking softly at Baili Jia Jue. “No matter what happens this time, I will stay by your side and take care of…”

She did not continue as she was extremely uncomfortable under Baili Jia Jue’s staring eyes.

He looked so superior in his cold majesty. Even though his eyes were emotionless, she could easily tell the hint of mockery inside.

Right at this moment, a shadow guard came from outside and said in a low tone, “Your Highness, it seems like the princess consort is gone.”
